Report of a fire at 647 E. 11th St.



There was a report of a fire last night at 647 E. 11th St. at Avenue C.

The FDNY Twitter feed ID'd the fire in the ground-floor restaurant, which is Fiaschetteria Pistoia.


EVG regular Jose Garcia shared the photos in this post at 10:30 p.m.

The FDNY declared the situation under control at 11:30...







Jose reported a heavy FDNY response to the scene, which you can see in this aerial view...



There isn't any word at the moment regarding injuries or the extent of the damage or the cause of the fire.

  2. On Dec. 22, a massive FDNY response to a fire on 15th Street, just west of Third Avenue. I could see the half-dozen or so trucks, a Haz-Mat unit, and three or four ambulances. What's frustrating is the FDNY alerts Twitter account: sometimes it's idle just when you need it most. Not that I couldn't go out and ask a firefighter what was going on (which I did — duh, it's a fire!) but still. It was a big contingent of bravest, and a little information on the designated channel would have been helpful.
